Man Utd made late January transfers with Erik ten Hag hoping to complete more deals

Deadline day is always a wild ride for football fans and Manchester United supporters have enjoyed some entertainment over the past few years.

Since the January transfer window came into being back in 2003, the Red Devils have signed four players at the eleventh hour in a bid to boost their seasons. Erik ten Hag is holding out hope that he make it five this year by pulling off a late deal, having already completed two signings earlier in the window and hinting at more additions.

While former England international goalkeeper Jack Butland arrived from Crystal Palace to spend five months as David de Gea 's deputy in goal, Dutch striker Wout Weghorst was parachuted in to remedy United's striking woes. After the club stumped up £2.6million in a compensation deal with Besiktas, Ten Hag got his hands on the 33-year-old Weghorst until the end of the season.
